The Formula 1 2026 season returns to the iconic Interlagos circuit for the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday, November 8. Lando Norris will lead the field after securing pole position in a dramatic, rain-affected qualifying session, but a series of grid penalties has created an unusual starting order.
The McLaren driver produced a stunning lap of 1:27.470 to beat Mercedes’ George Russell by 0.204 seconds. Kimi Antonelli qualified third, while Racing Bulls’ Liam Lawson and Audi’s Nico Hulkenberg also secured impressive results.
However, Russell’s five-place penalty and Charles Leclerc’s 10-place drop have reshuffled the grid. Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will also start towards the back after power-unit penalties.
